Who is Wolf Hoffmann?

Wolf Hoffmann grew up in Wuppertal. He is primarily known as guitarist in the German heavy metal band Accept since 1976. In 1997, he released the album Classical with rock versions of classical pieces. He contributed to Skid Row vocalist Sebastian Bach's solo album Bring 'Em Bach Alive! and to a 2000 Japanese tribute to Randy Rhoads album called Randy Rhoads Tribute with Sebastian Bach on "I Don't Know" and with Joe Lynn Turner on "Diary of a Madman". Hoffmann also contributed to Peace Breaker by Skew Siskin.

He has loved photography as a hobby early on, and eventually made it his second career. He took the cover photo for Objection Overruled. During Accept's hiatus from 1997, Hoffmann has worked as a professional photographer. He is currently based in Nashville, TN, but also maintains a residence in Berlin, Germany.

Wolf Hoffmann is married to Gaby Hoffmann, who used to be Accept's manager. Gaby Hauke contributed to Accept's songwriting under the pseudonym Deaffy.

Accept reformed with Hoffmann on board in 2009. Their comeback album, Blood of the Nations, was released August 20, 2010 to overwhelmingly positive reviews. A follow-up album, Stalingrad, surfaced two years later, which also was highly praised.
